Team Sunshine: Your Optimism Is Not Required

YOUR OPTIMISM IS NOT REQUIRED

Children will get older.
Parenting them will be complicated.
The climate around here will change.
Some people will suffer.
A just world is possible, today, and tomorrow.

Team Sunshine Performance Corporation presents an early look into its latest piece: a father-daughter duet, their annual camping trip, a moment around a campfire suspended in time, a consideration of parenting and being parented in the face of planetary crisis, an invitation to share s’mores.

Inspired by the work of Joanna Macy, Robin Wall-Kimmerer, Adrienne Maree Brown, and many others.

Created by: Alex Torra, Rachel Camp, Jackie Soro, Benjamin Camp, and Makoto Hirano.
